Hrabove (Ukrainian: Грабове, also spelled as Grabove), also known as Grabovo (Russian: Грабово, romanized: Grabovo) is a village in Horlivka Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine.[1] Its population was 1,000 as of the 2001 Ukrainian census. It is known for being the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was shot down by Igor Girkin, Sergey Dubinsky, and Leonid Kharchenko, and crashed in the south of the village.[1]

Hrabove is located beside the Mius river, some ten kilometers north-east of Shakhtarsk, and on the border between the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblast.
